Wasn't there something about Boeing having changed the technique for control wheel deflection on takeoff due to tail strikes on the longer 737's. On the old 200 there didn't seem to be anything listed except to keep wings level yet on the 727 with its older FCTM itsays to hold ailerons into wind and use that deflection as your new neutral position.
I see that the 744 FCTM says that excessive spoiler deflection during rotation reduces tail clearance. I suppose during the earlier portion of the roll there is little performance penalty.
